    Mine too, but only because I saw your username two years ago and cribbed your trick.

      Why are Lemmy posts and replies (almost?) emoji free? - I like the small emotion symbols, they add a softer human feel to things :]

      I use them almost exclusively as reactions or to convey tone — and even then, the music notes get used most often, to indicate singing

      since lemmy lacks reactions (beyond voting), I rarely have cause

        Emoji were democratized to unhipness, there was a movie about it and all

        I don't use emoji because they're hip, I use them because they have a function. 🤨🤷‍♂️

            I use regular emojis, occasionally.

            And I still like "Dongers"! I'll use it if I want!

                  I use the voyager app to browse and it has this little text faces that, imo, are better the emojis.

                            I miss vBulletin emoticons.

                            The unicode ones are lame.

                                I've never been against them globally, just depends on the community theme. They're inappropriate on serious communities I think still.

                                String four 🤣🤣🤣🤣 together on a debate board and the urge reach through their screen and strangle them like Homer and Bart becomes intense.

                                      Well yeah, overreacting is pretty cringe-inducing, I agree. But not the use of emoji as a concept, IMO. I think conveying emotion or intent or tone using them is good for communication in general. Makes things more personal and clear.

                                      Right - but that is generally how I see them used here already. More emoji would bring things up to boomer level.
